Today's Giveaway at Houses Built of Cards

Part of Heather's giveaway contest includes leaving a comment here, so here's her directions:
"Since it is the day before Thanksgiving here in the US, I want to keep it really simple! So, all I would like you to do is leave me a comment letting me know what you are thankful for today...right now. It can be any little thing - because there really is no such thing as something too small to be thankful for." Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

What time would you like sales and new releases to debut?

We know everybody has very different schedules and time zones, and it's very difficult finding the best time for the most people. We used to do midnight releases, but settled on mornings lately. We're still not sure what's the best, so we decided to take a vote and see if there's a consensus. Please check the poll to the right under the header and let us know your preference. Thanks for helping!

Our first kit, "Cup of Cheer", is available now!

We are proud to announce that we have put together our first ever kit and you can order it right now! The regular price on this particular kit would normally be $39.99, but we're debuting it at 25% Off so everybody can try us out at a great price! Because it's our first kit, quantities will be very limited until we see what kind of response we get. So if you like it, order now before they are gone!

Hey guys, here's a quick little sample of a mini book I made to show off our first kit - December's "Cup of Cheer" kit. This was from Christmas 2010, technically Tyler's second Christmas but really the first one that he could somewhat enjoy. The book contains absolutely nothing but what is included in the kit (except for the paint) and there's QUITE a bit leftover that didn't even make it in. We're really excited to start putting kits together and we hope you like what we've done. If you're interested, check back tonight at midnight Eastern time to purchase the kit. We're offering a 25% discount to promote the first kit - it's $29.99 instead of $39.99 - but we had to limit quantities for this first kit since we don't know how high the demand will be. So if you want it, don't wait until tomorrow! Come back at midnight to buy it!

Debuting our first kit, "Cup of Cheer", tonight at midnight!

We are proud to announce that we have put together our first ever kit and will be debuting it for sale tonight 11/18 at midnight Eastern time! We have some preview shots available if you click below. The regular price on this particular kit would normally be $39.99, but we're debuting it at 25% Off so everybody can try us out at a great price! Because it's our first kit, quantities will be very limited until we see what kind of response we get. So if you like it, be here at midnight tonight and purchase yours before they are gone!

We're sorry for the delay, but we are now ready and happy to announce the winner of our giveaway! The turnout was so positive that we decided to also offer 3 second prizes of a $10 gift certificate each! First, the winner of the Autographed Tim Holtz Vagabond:

Michelle B from Charlton, MA!!

Three second prize winners will win a $10 gift certificate to StopAndScrap.com:

Congratulations to our winners! Please email us at the following link to claim your prize. Michelle, we will need your shipping address and we will need the other winners' email addresses: http://www.stopandscrap.com/contact-us.aspx. To prevent fraud, we will be comparing the shipping address with your StopAndScrap account to make sure that you are in fact the winner. Thank you all!

We're sorry for the delay - we will be announcing the Vagabond winner later today. Unfortunately we got stuck shipping all day and had to make that the priority of course, but we'll have the announcement today. We also decided we'll pick an additional few winners to get StopAndScrap Gift Certificates! Stay tuned!

We are proud to present to you the new StopAndScrap.com! Although a complete site design could not be finished in such a short time (we do hope to have it done for the winter CHA season), we didn't want to wait to present to you the new changes that StopAndScrap.com is undergoing. Read on!

ONE DAY SHIPPING!

Those of you who have been ordering over the past month have already seen a drastic improvement in shipping times. New, regular priced items ship out within one day or less and clearance items ship out in 1 week or less (this used to be 2-3 weeks). As we move into our new office space, we expect to see these shipping times drop even further.

FREE SHIPPING OVER $50!

All US customers will now receive FREE shipping on all orders $50 or more (not including clearance items)! The shipping fee will be refunded after the order has been placed.

NEW CO-OWNERS!

We'd like to formally introduce you to our new owners/partners. Ray and Jessica, our new partners, are also parents to two children just like us. They came on board about a month ago and have immediately helped us turn StopAndScrap around. We are going to all be involved with the business, but the breakdown of responsibilities will be a little more defined with more people involved. Ray and Jessica will be involved more behind the scenes as well as helping with shipping. Maria will maintain her role as creative decision maker and product purchasing, but she will also take advantage of some more free time to expand our more "social" aspects of the site such as blogging, contests and more. Larry will continue to keep StopAndScrap running from a technical perspective (while also working hard to bring it up to date with new technologies) but will also take the lead on customer service and account management. Shipping will be a fully collaborative effort to keep speed and accuracy a priority. While you will still hear from Maria (especially on the blog), Larry is who you will be contacting with customer service issues.

So How Shall We Celebrate?

Let's Do a Giveaway!

Enter to win a FREE Sizzix Vagabond Die-Cutting Machine autographed by Tim Holtz himself! Simply leave a comment on THIS blog post only to enter. Please include your first name, last initial and city/state so we can identify you from your comments. International customers are welcome to enter however if the winner needs to ship their free Vagabond to a non-US address they will have to pay for the shipping fee before it is sent. We will ship free to any US address, though. Please leave your comment by tonight at midnight Eastern time!
